Full Version: Riddle # 248----->solved
A piece of fabric is cut into three sections so that the first is three times as long as the second and the second is three times as long as the third.What part of the entire piece is the smallest section?
I guess Third one
3rd piece
wellllll b'coz
umm seeing the 1st piece is longer den the 2nd piece
Terefore the 1st piece is longer den the 2nd piece
n left r 2 pieces
2nd and 3rd so u den said the 2nd is longer den the 3rd
der fore the shortest one must b the 3rd piece ...... I Think

first piece = 3(3x) or 9x
second piece = 3x
third piece = x
total = 9x+3x+x=13x
smallest is x out of 13x which is 1/13 or about 7.7%
second piece = 3x
third piece = x
total = 9x+3x+x=13x
smallest is x out of 13x which is 1/13 or about 7.7%

So which one r u sayin is the smallest?
If the smallest piece is called x, then the second piece would be 3x, and the longest piece would be 3*3x (3 times the second piece) or 9x.
adding up x +3x +9x = 13x, so the smallest piece is 1/13th of the entire fabric.
The smallest piece is 1/13 of the whole fabric
adding up x +3x +9x = 13x, so the smallest piece is 1/13th of the entire fabric.
The smallest piece is 1/13 of the whole fabric
